Default What 1" body lift (rubbing problems)?

I just installed a Teraflex 4" lift and I'm rubbing all over the place (front bumper, front rock skid plate, back bumper and a few other places.

I'm hoping a 1" body lift will cure most of theses problems?

What brand should I be looking at? Given I just spent $5k on tires, wheels and a lift I want to spend as little as possible, but get a good solid lift.

what size tires are you running? Performance Accessories, Rough Country... yada yada, or trim your fenders. but if you are rubbing skids and bumpers a BL isn't gonna do anything for you. sounds like you have either huge ass tires of porr backspacing on your wheels
